Buyer guide

An AI ordering system for merchants and distributors

Let customers order in plain language, any hour, from any channel. Otis reads the request, resolves the products, checks stock and account pricing and posts a clean order into your system, with no re keying.

Ordering without the friction

Trade customers do not always know part numbers, and they rarely order at convenient times. An AI ordering system lets them describe the job, paste a list or send a photo, and get a complete, priced order back. Otis maps the request to your catalogue, checks live availability, applies the account price and injects the confirmed order into your merchant system.

The result is faster ordering for the customer and clean, keyed in orders for you, captured day and night across the web, the counter and messaging.
